CHAPTER 513: CHAPTER 162: JOYFUL EVENT AT THE DOOR_2

This news is just too sudden.

"Oh? The progress is so fast? Didn’t you just say last Wednesday that there was no progress? It’s only been a few days, how come there’s such a sudden breakthrough? Did a miracle happen in the lab?"

Zhang Zuolin asked instinctively.

"It’s not a miracle in the lab. Didn’t I report to you last week? I found that Qiao Yu from the research center to help, he helped with the analysis. He said he plans to try to help us with a new method.

I gave him all the data. It took more than half a month, and today he suddenly said he had results, then gave us some suggestions. Moreover, all these batches of samples were strictly operated according to the experimental process suggestions he provided today.

The results of these batches of samples were surprisingly good. Oh, and Qiao Yu also said that based on the data we got this time, we might be able to come up with an even better plan."

After listening to Liu Hao’s words, Zhang Zuolin felt restless. It’s that Qiao Yu again!

To be honest, Qiao Yu’s reputation among professors is even greater than among students.

Mainly because he is incredibly capable!

If Zhang Zuolin had an age advantage, then Qiao Yu’s age advantage is simply extraordinary.

Especially with the publication of the paper on the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System, along with the paper on the upper bound of prime numbers, many people believe that next year Qiao Yu is already qualified to accompany the run for the Fields Medal, becoming the first underage nominee for the Fields Medal.

There is a high possibility of running at seventeen, and winning the Fields Medal at twenty-one. He might not even need to actively do anything, even if someone uses his method to prove something like the Twin Prime Conjecture or other famous number theory problems, he is qualified to win the award.

This means that Qiao Yu would not only be the youngest Fields Medal winner but would also receive many world mathematics awards. Of course, this includes domestic mathematical awards.

With these achievements, backed by Tian Yan Zhen and Yuan Zhengxin, it’s hard to say when Qiao Yu might become an academician.

But one thing is certain, it definitely won’t be over thirty years old. It might not even be over twenty-five.

There’s nothing to be done when some people are so outstanding that they don’t need the halo of an academician to enhance their aura, instead, the academician community needs to include Qiao Yu to prove its professionalism and fairness, the so-called age issue actually becomes less important.

Otherwise, what can be done?

The youngest Fields Medal winner in the world, unable to be recognized by a group of academicians in the School of Mathematics in Huaxia? It’s hard to say who’s embarrassed if this situation gets out.

For these reasons, the discussion about Qiao Yu has long gone beyond the mathematics community.

Even this time, Qiao Yu’s performance at the Huaxia Mathematics Annual Meeting wasn’t widely reported. It’s not that it’s not worth reporting, but also considering Qiao Yu’s age and not wanting to elevate him too highly just yet.

Of course, from another perspective, it’s also to save face for the mathematics bigwigs. After all, if all the focus is on Qiao Yu, what would the professors who received awards at the conference think?

Just yesterday at a dinner, everyone was still talking about Qiao Yu. He was quite glad that for the last collaboration, he gave Qiao Yu the consultant fee at the highest rate, out of respect for Tian Yanzhen.

Who knew that today he’d hear Qiao Yu’s name from Liu Hao again.

"I remember Professor Lu said before that your data wasn’t enough, not enough to derive any results?"

"Yes, Qiao Yu said he used a new method. Oh, and I kept him in the lab. Planning to treat him to dinner tonight since he really helped us a lot this time."

"Oh? He’s still around? How about this, I’ll head over now. You book a private room at the Boya International Center, and this meal is on me."

"Alright, I’ll call now to reserve."

"Mm."

...

While waiting for the lab results, Qiao Yu sat in the office in front of the computer, browsing literature on block copolymer phase separation and nanoparticle filling technology.

To collaborate, you must know yourself and your partner.

What surprised him was that in this field, domestically there are still some aspects where they’re in the lead.

The research that’s particularly strong just happens to be from where he attended the conference not long ago, Coastal Transportation University and Shuangdan University.

For example, a team from Coastal Transportation University published a paper in Advanced Materials the year before last, which detailed the research progress on synthesizing bicontinuous structure porous materials based on block copolymer self-assembly.

By adjusting the block chain length and polarity, one can control the formation of microphase structures such as spherical, columnar, and lamellar, which can directly impact material performance.

Then if the control of microphase structures can be directly modeled through modal paths, it means phase separation behavior can be optimized geometrically.

Considering the technical design of the Huairou Institute, the filling ratio of nanoparticles directly affects the fracture strength and self-repair capability of materials. This aspect should also be directly linked through modal density distribution.

Qiao Yu thought that the Huairou Institute’s research must have utilized the results from Coastal Transportation University and Shuangdan University.

However, domestically, despite remarkable achievements in specific research, there is a leading advantage. The disadvantage and deficiency just happen to be in the area of theoretical modeling.

Especially compared to theoretical research abroad, domestically there is still a significant gap in systematic modeling and prediction of complex phase behavior, especially when integrating high-dimensional dynamic simulations and new geometric tools.

Simply put, tools such as polymer statistical mechanics and field theory simulations are less mature compared to abroad.

At the same time, analysis of asymmetric phase behavior and multi-component systems, these types of complex systems, is relatively lagging.
